The proposed action by the General Secretary fails to learn the lessons of previous attempts. Escalating waves of action was an unprecedented tactic in 2018 but these now work in the employers favour to hold out and wait for us to burn ourselves out.
Comrades, tomorrow is the big day that none of us want but here we are. We are all in this together brothers and sisters so stay strong and good luck. In Unity!
⚠️ ANNOUNCEMENT! ⚠️
We are extremely pleased to announce that we have SMASHED our target of raising £200,000 towards a new permanent office for Socialist Appeal and the International Marxist Tendency!
With the victory earlier this year of the Liverpool bus drivers and the militant actions of solidarity with the dockers, likewise Mcvitie's workers in GMB securing victory this week, Unite must link this current strike with those actions, victorious and ongoing, across the city
Offering these vital workers 20p in addition to wages just above the minimum is a cynical disgrace.
This strike is going to have a tremendous effect on the city of Liverpool. The blame should be firmly placed at the door of the bosses!

This is a direct result of the inefficient, profit-orientated operation carried out by bosses from London to Manchester.
These bosses used covid to create staff shortages in airport security systems to garner huge profits, whilst workers faced cuts!

It’s great news that the HEC decided on taking indefinite action, a position we’ve long advocated for!
That the general secretary is undermining this democratic body by publicly criticising this decision undermines union democracy and our ability to win the dispute itself.
Fantastic to see all corners of the workforce becoming unionised. As the cost of living crisis intensifies and decent working conditions are destroyed workers are looking towards the unions to lead the way. Workers militancy is on the horizon!

With workers struggling to cope with rampant inflation, Abellio’s failure to even enter into meaningful pay talks is cold hearted and callous. Bus drivers at @Abellio_UK will be receiving the union’s complete support. #JobsPayConditions

❄️ Is your workplace too cold? ❄️
While there is no statutory right to a warm workplace, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 make clear that the temperature of an indoor workplace must be “reasonable” and no less than 16c (13c if rigorous physical work).
Striking charity workers will be protesting in Hounslow tomorrow. They are striking against understaffing, poor pay and provisions and unrealistic changes in working practices which has made providing important services for those at risk impossible.
